An ECE 22.06 motorcycle helmet should do more than just match your bike or scooter. What really matters is a verifiable certification, the right fit, and features you'll actually use day to day. The most sought-after styles are a flip-up motorcycle helmet, a full-face motorcycle helmet, a motorcycle helmet with sun visor, or a model with Bluetooth preparation.
However, there are some common mistakes people make when buying. A glossy design, lots of extra features, or what seems like the right standard size doesn't tell you much about whether the helmet will be comfortable and safe over time. The points below will help you separate marketing claims from verifiable product features.
The term "ECE" alone shouldn't be enough. Look for the specific reference ECE R 22.06 and check that it's clearly stated in the technical product information. This standard covers the construction and testing requirements for motorcycle helmets. However, it doesn't replace your own check of the fit, fastening and field of vision.
An ECE 22.06 motorcycle helmet isn't automatically suitable for every head shape. Even a certified helmet can be too loose, too tight, or uncomfortable around the temples.
A removable interior, soft padding or a sun visor make the helmet more practical for everyday use. But they aren't independent proof of protective performance. The models featured here mention an ABS outer shell and an EPS inner layer. These are objectively describable construction features of an ABS motorcycle helmet.
What remains important: the helmet must be undamaged, fasten correctly, and not shift when you shake your head. A comfortable lining can't compensate for a poor fit.
A motorcycle helmet with Bluetooth preparation is handy if you plan to fit an intercom system later. However, it doesn't mean that speakers, battery or microphone are already included. So check whether the listing specifically mentions just a mounting space or a complete communication system.
With the MY 935, the product information states that there is a reserved Bluetooth headset space under the cheek pads on both sides. According to the technical details, a Bluetooth device and batteries are not included.
With a flip-up helmet, you should also check the flip mechanism for ease of use and a secure closure. A flip-up helmet offers advantages in everyday use when putting it on and taking it off, or during short breaks. When riding, the chin section must be closed according to the instruction manual.
A full-face helmet has a one-piece chin section. Models like the MY 936 are listed as a full-face motorcycle helmet with an integrated sun visor and ABS shell. This design is of interest to riders who prefer a closed helmet construction.
A motorcycle helmet with sun visor can be practical in changing light conditions. The inner visor can be operated independently of the outer visor. The MY 936 is described as having an integrated inner sun visor.
The MY 935, on the other hand, is a motorcycle helmet with dual visor. According to the product description, it has an outer visor and an additional inner sun visor. The product information also mentions 99 per cent UV protection. This information is based on the manufacturer's or product's details and should not be equated with a medical or therapeutic effect.
Don't choose your size based solely on your previous helmet size. Measure your head circumference horizontally across your forehead and the back of your head. Then compare the measurement with the size chart for the specific model.
For the MY 935, the following ranges are given:
For the MY 936, slightly different values apply:
This selection covers a motorcycle helmet size S to XXL. The size ranges partly overlap with those of other models, but they aren't automatically transferable. If you're between sizes, check the fit particularly carefully.
Why this product fits the profile: The medium size M is designed for a stated head circumference of 57–58 cm. The flip-up design is suitable for everyday use, scooter rides and changing situations.
The product details specifically mention ECE R 22.06, ABS shell, EPS padding and dual visor, rather than using only general comfort terms.
Flip-up mechanism, dual visor and Bluetooth headset space under the cheek pads.
Why this product fits the profile: This full-face helmet is aimed at those who prefer a closed construction, an integrated sun visor and an easy-care interior.
The size ranges are given specifically for this model. Additionally, the inner lining is described as removable and washable in the product description.
Full-face helmet construction, integrated inner sun visor and ABS shell with EPS inner layer.
Why this product fits the profile: The XXL size is designed for a stated head circumference of 63–64 cm. This variant is therefore aimed at people for whom smaller standard sizes aren't sufficient.
The XXL size is listed with a specific centimetre range. This makes it easier to match your choice to your measured head circumference.
Flip-up helmet with dual visor, ABS material and a prepared mounting space for an intercom headset.
We've put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations in force in the EU.
Before your first ride, adjust the chin strap so that the helmet fits securely without causing pressure points. The fastener must click fully into place. Also check that the visor opens and closes smoothly and that the sun visor doesn't obstruct your field of vision.
After a fall, a helmet should not be used again, regardless of whether there is visible damage. Even with normal use, the inner padding, fastener and visor mechanism can wear out. It's not possible to give a fixed replacement date. Check the materials, fit and manufacturer's instructions regularly. Cleaning should be carried out according to the care instructions for the specific model; harsh solvents can damage surfaces and padding.
Yes, the designation ECE R 22.06 refers to a European testing and approval standard for motorcycle helmets. When buying, the marking should be verifiable in the product information and on the helmet itself. Additionally, the fit, fastening and undamaged condition remain important.
A flip-up helmet makes it easier to put on and take off, and is convenient during short breaks. A full-face helmet has a closed construction and may be of interest to riders who prefer this design. Both types should fit correctly and be used according to the instructions.
Measure your head circumference horizontally across your forehead and the back of your head, and compare the result with the size chart for the specific model. A motorcycle helmet must not shift, but it shouldn't create strong pressure points either. The differing charts between the MY 935 and MY 936 show why the model-specific information is crucial.
